Abstract
A CATALOGUE of nematode parasites of plants, compiled by Dr. T. Goodey has been issued by the Imperial Bureau of Agricultural Parasitology, St. Albans, price 10s. The work consists of an alphabetical list of the scientific names of all plants which have been reported as hosts of nematodes, comprising more than 2,000 species and varieties of flowering plants, 78 ferns, 55 mosses, 5 liverworts and 3 seaweeds. In each case the appropriate parasite or parasites is stated, together with the name of the first recorder and the date of the record. For convenience, an alphabetical list of the popular plant names, with the scientific name appended, is also supplied, so that the reader can be sure of finding the information he requires by whichever plant name is the more familiar to him. The publication concludes with a list of references relevant to the records cited. Usually this is the earliest record obtainable, but in a few cases a more accessible reference has been deliberately selected.
